Prof. Craig Batty, School of Media and Communication, RMIT University o Dr Sharon Andrews, School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT University o Ms Justine Sless, La Trobe University ______________________________________________________________ Change of Membership, AHSN Review Panel The recent 24th AHSN conference saw a change of baton in leadership of the AHSN Review Panel that keeps an eye on standards and planning for AHSN activities. Our founding Chair, Dr bruce Findlay (Psychology, Swinburne University) stepped down to pass the baton to Dr Angus McLachlan (Psychology, Federation University of Australia, who convened the 23rd conference for the AHSN February 2017 conference in ballarat). Happily, bruce has agreed to stay on as a panel member. Two other long-serving – indeed founding members – of the Panel also retired. At least for the present: Dr Rebecca Higgie, former Endeavour Fellow at the Centre for Comedy Research Studies, brunel University London; and Dr Will Noonan, now lecturing in Anglophone Studies at l’Université de bourgogne Franche-Comté in Dijon, France. Will is the founding Vice-President of a new francophone network of humour scholars, RIRH (Réseau interdisciplinaire de recherches sur l'humour – see story elsewhere in this Digest). While Rebecca is still publishing research, she is taking a break from academia. We take this opportunity to thank all three, bruce, Rebecca and Will, for their dedicated contributions to the work of the AHSN. In their place, two new members have been warmly welcomed onto the Review Panel: Professor Michael Haugh (Linguistics, University of Queensland) and Dr Kerry Mullan (Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT University). We thank them both for being willing to serve and give especial thanks to Kerry, who together with other Melbourne-based colleagues, is convening the 25th AHSN Conference at RMIT University, 6-8 February 2019 (see Call for Papers elsewhere in this Digest). 2 The full list of the multi-disciplinary AHSN Review Panel is below (also on the AHSN website, where the review procedures for evaluating proposals for papers and workshops at AHSN conferences are also posted).

After more than a decade performing comedy in dark, dingy comedy rooms, performing solo shows nationally and internationally at festivals, events and conferences, creating the inaugural Melbourne Jewish Comedy Festival, blogging on the perils, pleasures and pitfalls of performing comedy and teaching comedy in a bid to understand the beguiling beast that is stand-up comedy, Sless found herself flummoxed most of the time and confounded the rest. So, she turned to academia for answers. Sless is now undertaking a Masters by Research in Creative Writing at La Trobe University and her area of research is gender and comedy. Her research focuses on women performing live stand-up comedy in comedy venues in Melbourne and North-East England, and her creative response is a collection of short stories about gender and comedy. Having presented a well-received paper at the 2018 Cairns AHSN Conference, Justine is delighted to be part of the organising committee for the 2019 AHSN conference, to be held in Melbourne at RMIT University [see Call elsewhere in this Digest]. She would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in either her research or the 2019 Conference. Justine Sless, Master of Arts (by Research), La Trobe University, Melbourne.

Clarke Sydney University, 25 May 2018 Owing to travel difficulties, the Colloquium will not now take place in John Clarke’s home town, but more conventionally over one day at the University of Sydney, in Seminar Room S226, John Woolley building A20, University of Sydney. John Clarke (1948-2017) was one of Australia’s and New Zealand’s most accomplished and most celebrated humourists. From his early performances as the iconic character, Fred Dagg, to his creation of one of Australia’s most acclaimed screen comedies, The Games (1998-2000), and through his three decades of incisive comic interviews alongside bryan Dawe, Clarke emerged as the pre-eminent antipodean political satirist, working across multiple media and formats. His influence was such that he did not simply embody the comic traditions

    © Lonely Planet Publications 21 Destination East Coast Australia It’s all about the water. The East Coast of Australia bangs into the Pacific Ocean for some 4000km (almost five times that if you measure every notched crag and every sinuous strand). Or maybe it’s the other way around: the Pacific bangs into the coast. Given the number of surfers riding those breaks, it’s probably the latter. Life here revolves around water and so will your trip, often in ways you might not imagine.

ON BEING AUSTRALIAN Teaching and learning activities ABOUT TRUE BLUE? AMBIVALENCES, ANXIETIES, COMPLEXITIES AND CONTRADICTIONS For well over a century Australians have been concerned to define a national identity. In her recently released study, Being Australian, Catriona Elder says: ‘Being Australian is not simply about the pleasure of the past and the excitement of the future... It is not just about that funny feeling a citizen might get when the Australian flag is raised at the Olympics. Being Australian also encompasses feelings, ideas and emotions that vary from joy to shame, guilt to confusion, hatred to love. Yet, in most national narratives these feelings of anxiety are erased or repressed in favour of the pleasurable aspects of national identity. Finding pleasure in being Australian is valuable; however exploring and explaining the anxiety and fear that lie at the heart of the idea of being Australian is also important.’ In the collection TRUE BLUE? we have attempted to problematise the notion of Australian identity for senior students.

  • Narelle Gee Thesis
    MAINTAINING OUR RAGE: INSIDE AUSTRALIA’S LONGEST-RUNNING MUSIC VIDEO PROGRAM. By Narelle Gee BA/DipEd (University of NSW) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Creative Industries) School of Media, Entertainment, Creative Arts, Film, Screen and Animation Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 Key Words ABC Music Television Alternative Music Music Videos Australian Broadcasting Corporation Popular Music Australian Cultural Industries Production Cultures Australian Television Public Service Broadcasting Creative Labour rage Cultural Production Television Broadcasting Media Culture Television Production Music Industry TV Programs 2 Abstract The thesis, “Maintaining our rage: inside Australia’s longest-running music video program”, takes a reflective and reflexive narrative journey across the decades of rage, from its 1987 creation through to the program’s current incarnation, providing unique insider perspectives and affordances. Australia’s longest-running music video program is also, arguably, the most sustained such program globally (Bodey, 2012; Helper, 2012). Despite its longevity, there has been scarce scholarly analysis of rage, and of what has underpinned its unusual endurance; many music video programs have come and gone during the program’s long-held tenure. How has rage survived the vicissitudes of network programming – particularly within the capricious space of music video programming - and maintained its cultural place and role, for more than a quarter of a century? The significance of this research is that it explores rage’s unusual durability, examines the program’s unique elements, and answers three key research questions: What has been the history of rage as a program and a cultural entity? What has been the cultural significance of rage? How did rage create a shift within the music industry ecology of Australia? This thesis presents an insider’s account of rage, exploring it within its ABC TV and public broadcasting context.
